PENCE: “TARIFFS ARE A TAX… American importers, businesses and ultimately consumers end up paying all of that $300 BILLION. We're paying that.”

You're looking at the largest land animal of the Permian (~290 MYA), Eryops megacephalus, which translates to "long-face giant-head".

It's a GIANT AMPHIBIAN. Like somewhere between a SALAMANDER & a FROG, but hog-sized.

And, to get this out of the way, bears a striking resemblance to Barney. 🟣🦖

If tech people want to do something useful for historians, one problem that I actually have is that all the links to a less-than-10-year-old digitization project are fucking broken. Maybe get on the whole "making digital humanities last more than the time it takes to write a book" thing.

We feed you.
They hunt us.

In the long tally of history, I can't imagine the Internet will end up with the scales balanced to the good.

Every path has a price and every chapter is written by me and only me. Come, join the resistance. See how we make them burn. #BookSky 📚🪓

I want to take a moment to share an except from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone? For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

Happy New Comic Book Day Everyone!

If you continue to use chat GPT, you need to unfriend me. I understand being forced to use it for work. But there is no other excuse. You should know by now. It's not fun. It's not correct. It's harmful. Some of you are professors. I hope you know your cognitive abilities are being diminished.

BEYOND THE RUINED NIGHTS, NOW AVAILABLE FOR PREODER.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Decided that the real world wasn't quite depressing enough so I'm rereading THE ROAD. It's been a couple years. Now, in the place we are, I'm seeing a lot more quite optimism in it than I did the first time around.

Erik here, he isn’t wrong. #elbowsup

The reality of that piece of history is that, despite the various horrible things the Robber Barons like Rockefeller did, they were ACTUALLY talented, industrious people who, at least at the start, worked for their money.

Musk could never.

Rockefeller was considered the richest person in history at a net worth of 198 billion dollars in today's money.

If he were alive today, he'd be only the 5th richest person alive.

Somehow they still all had plenty of money in the 40s when we instituted the 90% tax rate.

Anyway tax billionaires

ICE detains 2 men in Charlottesville courthouse raid Three men who identified themselves as Homeland Security officers raided a courthouse in downtown Charlottesville Tuesday, detaining two men without explanation.

Men in plainclothes, one in a balaclava, raided the Charlottesville courthouse today. They abducted a local painter whose case (allegedly fighting with his roommate) was being dismissed, and another who was there paying fines. They took them away in unmarked vans.

The thing is if the pope had died a day after meeting Kamala Harris your uncle whose emails you had to mark as spam would be on FB for the next four years sharing 1000-word posts about a vast conspiracy and the posts would be accompanied by AI images that drained you of the will to live

It's a real validating to be an X-Men fan who's always thought Magneto was right.

face down. like a hog at a trough. squealing, grunting, howling my way through the Friendly’s Dutch Fudge Roll

When I made the main character of my upcoming debut, BEYOND THE RUINED NIGHTS, pansexual and put a queer relationship at the stories center, I didn't think it was a act of protest.

But I guess now it is.

A knight in a frog mouth helmet stabs through the maw of a large demonic snake, the text reads: I won't let this world dull me to its horrors. Real thinker from your boy on this one

THE FROG AND THE SNAKE

Spydere Man, Spydere Man
Doth al things a spydere kan
Sondry webbes he kan weaven
Thieves lyke flyes he kan cacchen
Lo! anon cometh Spydere Man

They will come for so much, for everything, for the things we love. For the beauty of our country, for its culture, for it's soul.

But they can only take your pride if you let them. I will not. America is my home.

"Wir werden sie in die Knie zwingen." We shall force them tot their knees. Resist.
